B E A Utifulllll truck you have there! Love the drop. How much did the drop set you back? Did you install everything yourself? Where did you get all of the parts you listed? How does it handle versus stock? I can't really tell from the photos but is there enough room to accomodate a set of long bars? Sorry for all of the questions but your photos have intrigued my curiosity.

i added parts here and there to get the finished product. i would say if you bought everything new it would be est 1700 to 2000. i am parting out the front suspension parts so i can more of a drag race style setup. hope to be getting a c6 vette soon for my road race events. it handles great! no body roll, very stable but stiff, and the stiff coil springs helped reduce some of the oversteer i was getting with new whipple power lol. you could run long bars but the brackets would be very very close to the ground. if i was not going for a c6 i would not change a thing for open track / auto-x events.
